Considered by some to be the earliest work of history, and by others as a jumble of fables, Herodotus’ The Histories [also known as The Inquiries ] is first and foremost a vast space dedicated to freedom of speech: the author’s speech as well as that of his informants, whose nature constitutes an essential part of the enigma. Was this traveller from Halicarnassus well-informed? Did he, or his informants, willingly or not, alter reality? And even if they did, does that mean that his testimony would no longer be of any interest to contemporary historians? In addressing these diverse questions and many others, this study seeks to help readers to no longer view the stories in the Second Book of Herodotus’ Histories – the one devoted to Egypt – as so many potential testimonia of realia, but as keys to unlock the mindsets, representations and the imaginary of the various creative communities (Egyptian as well as Greek, scholarly or popular) of these logoi which, like a kaleidoscope, can produce an infinite combination of images.
